Happy “Epping Forest Day”, to those who celebrate.🌳🌳🌳

Just the other week I visited the Fuelling the Railway Revolution exhibition at the rather wonderful #AucklandProject #MiningArtGallery (Bishop Auckland, County Durham).

Belatedly got around to collating some photos of the Barkingside trees.
Just one plaque visible (plus another subsumed into a still-expanding tree).
Compare Sir Frederic Wise, from Valentines - looks like the same crest (a tree within a shield outline).
